Monday Day 1 – again! 😂😁

Well here we are again. Another Monday. Another promise to myself for getting my shit together.

We are now 343 Days until my Half Century mark. So many times this weekend I wanted to sit down and write a post. I had been collecting pictures and knew they were coming into my view at the right time to help get me going again.

If you recall a while ago I has said “I am worth it”. In regards to making time for myself and making time to do the things that need to be done and not just thinking about them, actually do them. And I was really good at that for a while, but I lost my way and I am just trying to get back to it. It’s going to be hard. There are going to be hard days, but I am worth it.

And then I saw this other picture with Dave Ramsey reminding me that if I have no goals – I’ll reach them every time 😑 SO this weekend aside from cleaning the basement and getting stuff cleaned out for the kids, I also got up early Saturday morning made a cup of coffee and sat in the tub and warmed up so I could do a full body blast. That was the first time I did that in A LONG TIME! I have not bruised since I started blasting again. Not sure why – I do know I hurt all over and I have some pretty jacked up Fascia – way more Jacked up then when I started before. I am sure that is a combination of eating like shit and not working out all summer – AND getting things started and then stopping with the blasting. Need to get to the good side then I can move to a maintenance schedule. I am not ready for maintenance.

I made a little video of my left inner thigh/knee area. When I run my hand down it you can see all the lines and dimples. That is not fat. If you have that, stop telling yourself its because you are fat. There IS fat stuck in there. But it’s stuck in tight messed up Fascia. When you get the blood flow moving back into the area and your fascia gets healthy – the lumps and bums go away because the trapped fat can then be accessed and used for fuel…provided you are not actively storing more 🙂 It will still smooth out, but it will not suddenly just evaporate without combining exercise and a good diet with the activity.

I also took a couple shots of my face and head when I got out of the tub. I am hoping to see the turkey neck tighten up and the marionette lines around my mouth go away (in time with my new efforts)

I hate all three of those pictures – so you better feel awfully blessed that I shared them LOL
I was full of picture taking this weekend – While I was in the basement cleaning I realized I could really see the dents in my legs when I was kneeling and the lighting down there sucks so it casts lots of shadows and you can clearly see my dents even in pictures. I Never had this many lumps and dents in my legs until I was treated with radiation for my Graves disease. It kind of makes me think they are related – But I can’t find the right search criteria to Google and figure out what else was damaged with that treatment. I will in time I’m sure. You know me – Like a Dog with a Bone! And finally my weight as of this morning 😣😳 Holy SHIT! How did that happen??

Oh well – it is what it is – BUT it does not have to stay that way 😏

Kids are all moved in and we have a gate up to keep the cats and dogs separate – UNTIL we can get a door hung at the top of the stairs. My Daughter in Law and I both slept like crap fearing the destruction of kitties by my dog that loves to chase and catch squirrels! Very high chase instinct in both dogs – Not even birds are allowed to land in the back yard LOL

Hi Kelly 🙂
I also have Graves disease but did not want to get radioactive iodine ablation. I’m in my mid 20’s and have lived with it for 11 years but it’s flared up again recently. I’ve read some studies that ablation negatively impacts salivary gland function in up to 1/5 patients and I believe there were some other effects as well. Let me know if you would ever like help with research! I’m a student too and have access to lots of research papers and journals through my university. Take care!

I did not have any major impact on anything other than my thyroid. I do know some people that had much higher doses and it did ruin their glands. I think Graves can be managed via lifestyle…I didn’t know then what I know now or would never have agreed to the ablation.
